This is a print by Wisdom Art Prints, a modern vintage style painting of the water tower, with some huts and a biplane flying above, from the RFC aerodrome at Stowe Maries
A photograph of six friends standing outside a first world war hut on the aerodrome., with a sign above saying Dope Shop
This is photograph of a biplane in a field with First World War German markings. If I remember rightly, it’s an albatross. There is a pilot in the cockpit and two photographers standing next to the aircraft.
Highly recommend a visit. We went on Saturday and were lucky to see some flying. Stowe Maries Great War Aerodrome.
